If the "media" and "Gothic" is there a name that provides the perfect link between the two ideas: Marilyn Manson. Eccentric and controversial, the American musician, whose real name is Brian Warner, represents the crudest nightmares of a society that, at least from the theoretical level, the institute seeks moral principle of all human action. Thus, the ease with which the singer refers in his letters to sensitive issues such as drugs, violence and sexuality make it, along with video games and TV, in one of the "guilty" of episodes marked increase of violence in our days. And no wonder: in a world that builds its ideas from appearances, bizarre image and, at times, macabre Manson-that to make matters worse, was nicknamed himself that way in honor of the actress Marilyn Monroe and murderer Charles Manson Satanist makes him a "scapegoat" for excellence . In fact, much of the company accused him of encouraging, through the lyrics of their songs, really tragic events featuring teens, such as the Columbine Slaughter (USA) and the Slaughter of Carmen de Patagones, it occurred three years in our country.
As proof of this can be seen the next cut about what happened in Patagones. Excerpted from the daily Infobae Article announced, from the owner, a direct link between "crime" and "music" - 'satanic' in case there is any doubt that the adjectives are endowed with a great power in themselves.
" The young murderer was a fan of" satanic music "
His idol is the rocker Marilyn Manson. wore black clothes and spoke English with his select group of friends.
A teenager who sparked the tragedy at the school of El Carmen was described by classmates and teachers as "shy, quiet, of strange behavior, but non-violent "and little integration with the rest of the students.
" was dressed in black, was in a separate small group in which they spoke English, so they do not understand each other, " Santiago said one of the co-author of the murders.
Another boy, named Jonathan, said Junior wrote " crosses upside down, as the sign of the devil .
Meanwhile, on the desk Rafael sat where they could read slogans like: "The sensible thing humans can do is commit suicide," "If someone found the meaning of life, please enter here" "Lying is the basis of human happiness."
"But sometimes approached to play the ball or trick, but was always section with Dante (another partner) and write sentences in English," said Jonathan.
On the other hand, other witnesses say the boy used wear black and listen to music style that some call "satanic heavy metal" style of interpreting the U.S. Marilyn Manson. It also emerged that on his desk were found inscriptions alluding to the devil.
"Sometimes we spoke and did not answer, as if thinking otherwise, was very close, "said Nicholas. He also acknowledged that he had never known another episode of violence in the Junior participate and only learned that he had an" exchange of words ".
is noted in the article, then , a cocktail of elements perfectly consistent to give a more simplistic explanation of the matter: the murderer was shy, antisocial, "dressed in black, gothic or dark, without distinction as to society" is all the same: are the black "- and listened to violent music - how could hear Marilyn Manson if you wore black? - and it was satanic.
This is, in short, the position taken by the public about the case, although it would be unfair not to refer to that there were some discrepancies in the media about the case, as shown in the final frame of http:// www.clarin.com/diario/2004/09/30/um/m-841063.htm- . Now, how many factors disclosed in further research on the subject were buried under the simplification that the company gave the case? Often blame the music of Marilyn Manson - exponent of the music "gothic" or "dark", according to media-replaced an afterthought by the society in that should have been considered distinct features of the life of Junior, the protagonist of the slaughter. So, few were those who dared to invest the matter and consider it from the standpoint of the perpetrator: To what extent the cruelty of his peers taunted him constantly dragged him not to commit the crime?, What form the high level of authoritarianism was subjected in his own home did not cultivate his resentment and loneliness?, "from where it should be left to look at" retiring "as an indication of abnormality and start watching the group around him? ... Violence is not good but the silence and indifference either ... The tendency social to define "normal" from the majority and to point the finger at those who do not fit into the same fault for these events. And it is much more than Marilyn Manson, a being the media that, beyond having had a difficult childhood and adolescence (as seen in his biography included in "dark voices" of the links on this site) is not a charismatic figure who knows how to gamble in the casino of fame.
